Posha

William Soutra

Marine Sgt. William Soutra and his working dog, Posha, in Afghanistan. The German shepherd was with the Marines when they landed in a helicopter-borne assault to clear out a Taliban command post and quickly found two pressure-plate bombs on the main route to the Taliban compound. Posha was later diagnosed with cancer and had to be euthanized last year.
